The study sampled data collected from some 1.6 million people from across every US continental state and district. It was examining the ‘Big Five’ personality traits — extroversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to new experiences.

The resulting scale of scores has been identified as a means of predicting certain psychiatric disorders.

Economist Ryan Murphy, one of the study’s leaders, says identifying these traits in previous surveys gave them the large sample size.

“Boldness corresponds to low neuroticism and high extroversion, meanness corresponds to low agreeableness, and disinhibition corresponds to low conscientiousness,” he says.

The method is somewhat controversial as it is indirect. But Murphy argues it is a valid alternative to conducting millions of specific psychopath tests across the country (which would also reveal what trait they were looking for).

Well, at least now we have scientific proof of what we already knew - psychopaths are in control of our government. CT, CA, NJ, and NY are in the top five states with the most psychopaths. Explains a lot, doesn't it.

And let's not forget the analysis of a famous Israeli psychiatrist who diagnosed pervasive "malignant narcissism" on Penn. Ave. from 2008-2016. Self-aggrandizement, narcissism, conceit, power-hungry, and control freaks line the halls of congress and every gov. agency. Traits that are fitting of most of what we see in D.C. Several who really try to bring wrong to light, but it's an unattainable uphill battle. RIP America.
